Some songs that I wrote or co-wrote and produced were run through an A.I. engine (in some cases hundreds of times) to create brand new arrangements and vocal performances. In some instances, songs were edited and combined and/or instruments replaced with my own performances. In many cases, the A.I. versions were left completely intact. These are for demonstration purposes only, but may help to shed light on why this is an area of great controversy.
